WINDOW-SI- IADE BRACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part'of Letters Patent No. 450,070, dated April 7, 1891.

Application filed November 8, 1890.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEWIS HARNISH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Parkersburg, in the county of \Vood and State of Vest Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in \Vindow-Shade Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is directed to an improved bracket device for the hangings of windowshades which are movable with the upper sash, and the precise improvement which I have made consists in the particular construction of the bracket, whereby it is secured to the upper sash and to a bar to which the bearings of a roller shade are secured, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical section of so much of the upper window-sash and its framing as illustrates the application to the sash of my improved bracket-hanger for the roller shade. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section showing the roller-shade-bracket hangers in top view, and Fig. 3 is the bracket-hanger in elevation.

The shade-roller a is mounted in the usual bracket-bearings b, which are secured to each end of a bar 0, which is secured at each end to the window-sash by myimproved brackethangers, asIwill now describe. The bracket consists of a claw-arm part d, having one end formed with an L-shaped bend cl, terminating in a claw (1 adapted to be driven into the top of the sash,with the bend d resting against the side of the sash. Its other end is formed with a sleeve part (1 from which extends a lower pointed part (Z adapted to be driven into the side of the sash. An extensible L- shaped part c is fitted into the sleeve part d with the L branch standing upward, and

Serial No. 370,762. (No model.)

serves as a pintle upon which the roller bar is hung by means of a hinge part c, secured to the inner side of said roller bar.

One of these bracket-hangers is secured to the upperbar of the upper sash at each side of the window-frame, and a half hinge-leaf is scoured to each-end of the roller bar in posi tion to be fitted upon the pintle ends of the extensible bracket parts, which can be set in or out upon the claw parts to suit the depth of the window-jambs. A set-screw f secures the extensible part to the claw part. The hingeleaf part can be made of flexible metal lapped I to form the pintle-eye. The nail part has a shoulder 61 by which it is driven into the sash, and this nail part while serving to re-enforce the hold of the claw-bar also serves as a brace to support the weight of the shade and its roller.

I claim as my improvement I The window shade bracket herein described, consisting of two extensible parts, one of which has an arm part d, provided at one end with a sleeve d and at its other end with an L-bend terminating in a downward claw C1 and a brace terminating in a nail d the other parte having a U pintle end standing upward, in combination with the bar 0, having on one side the pintle-eyes e e at each end, and on the other side of the bracket bearings b b at each end for the sharile-roller, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
